Who would've predicted at the dawn of 2017 that U.S. President Donald Trump would fire the FBI director? Or that a Democrat would win an Alabama Senate race? Or that a Hollywood sex scandal would spark resignations on Downing Street? Policy makers plotting their way through next year might consider the words of former British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan, who, when asked what could disrupt his government, answered: "Events, my dear boy, events." Indeed, MacMillan was later undone by the Profumo affair, a Cold War scandal involving sex and Soviet spies.

The Trump administration vowed Tuesday that North Korea would be held accountable for a May cyberattack that affected 150 countries, but it didn't say how, highlighting the difficulty of punishing a pariah nation already sanctioned to the hilt for its nuclear weapons program. The WannaCry ransomware attack infected hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide and crippled parts of Britain's National Health Service.
US President Donald Trump marks the end of his first year in office facing escalating crises - spurred by the unpredictable signals coming from the White House.

Russian President Vladimir Putin scoffed Thursday at allegations of collusion between U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia, saying the reports have been "invented" by Trump's foes and have hurt the U.S. political system. He also mocked his most visible critic, Alexei Navalny, who is barred from challenging Putin in the March 18 presidential vote due to an embezzlement conviction, saying those like him want to plunge Russia into a destabilized quagmire.
